The 8 google products that happened to better life in 2016

Google is a company that lives by creating new products, but also by killing others that do not quite materialize or that do not report the benefits they expect. In this article we review 8 products of the company that have passed to a better life in 2016.

Google Hangouts on Air

With the arrival of YouTube Live, having two live streaming services did not make sense to them, so they decided in September that Hangouts on Air should lead to a better life. This service that was associated with Google+ had been created in 2012, a streaming service that came to be used by Barack Obama and Pope Francis.

Google Nexus

The Nexus line of mobile phones is another victim. From the announcement of 'Pixel' manufactured by the company itself and not by third parties, Nexus no longer had a reason to exist, in addition to the fact that it never had the success they expected.

Picasa

A few years ago Picasa became the best editor and manager of photographs for PC. However, for a while Google stopped updating the application for unknown reasons until it fell into ostracism. This year Google decided to formalize his final death.

Project Ara

This was a project to create a modular phone, that is, a phone could be created by joining different components that could be purchased separately, processors, displays, cameras, etc. In 2013 Google was very excited just when it had acquired Motorola. This year they confirmed that Project Ara was going nowhere.

ChromeApps

ChromeApps were applications that could be run directly from the browser. It looked very promising in 2013 but since then we have seen virtually none of this. Although Google has not said a word about it, everyone takes it for granted that this initiative has already been abandoned by Google.

MyTracks

This product officially closed on April 30. It was a sports physical activity tracking application that was created back in 2009. Its closure has to do with the fact that the company created a very similar application that is now called Google Fit.

Google Compare

In March 2016 this service was closed, which was dedicated to comparing purchases of credit card rates, mortgages and insurance. The service had launched last year, so it didn't even last a year online.

Panoramio

Panoramio was a platform that offered geolocation services and image storage. In 2014 the company already had plans to close this service but it was maintained thanks to user requests. Now the closure is indeclinable and will be online until next November 4.
